If my opinion comes with good arguments that corroborate my points, that is still not equal to me saying "I own Tiki". I am fine with your opinion concerning the importance of Hapa Haole, but I feel you are overreacting if you allude to me having declared some kind of complete BAN on Hapa Haole and all things from Hawaii in Tiki: I have not! You are misunderstanding me if you believe that. Regarding my CD, I feel that Paul Page has elements of Hapa Haole, and so do The Surfers. But its heavily mainland-styled Hapa Haole, not the pure Hawaiian kind - the heyday of which happened in the Pre-Tiki period.
